I was lucky enough to be...
I was lucky enough to be the only one that signed up for the group tour that day, so I got a solo tour. Alan is a great guide - knowledgeable and has good English (which helps since my Spanish is very mediocre). The snacks and food were great, the views were beautiful despite the cloudy day, and the dogs were cute.

Helpful guide, not helpful other adventurer
Our guide was so amazing and SO accommodating. Unfortunately due to a person in the group whom our guide attempted to accommodate, the end of the hike and return trip turned into a mess. It was 100% not the guides fault. And overall I would still rate this a good experience.

Beautiful day, enjoyable hike!
Allan was an excellent host and set a welcoming tone for the hike. Our group of ten included people from many parts of the world and led to many interesting conversations. The group was very friendly and adjusted the pace nicely. The hike itself would be rated moderate by most standards, with a fair amount of elevation gain in the first 40% or so. Of the two trail choices, we selected the longer one which led past a waterfall; the other one might have offered better views of the active volcano but there were clouds over the peak anyway. The bag lunch break at the waterfall was great but save room for the taco/quesadilla stop on the drive back!

Amazing, lovely day
Amazing hike between the volcanoes!! The ride isn’t too bad (about ~2 hrs) but it is definitely worth it. The tour guide was incredible- stopping for coffee, asking us how we were doing, stopping for breaks along the way. We opted to go the long way back and was able to see parts of the forest. Food was offered multiple times as well as water, snacks, and a backpack. I would recommend being a light jacket, hat, and your camera. This was by far my favorite part of the trip.

Trekking Through The Volcanoes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Trekking Through The Volcanoes cost?
+
Prices start at $133 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Trekking Through The Volcanoes take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Trekking Through The Volcanoes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Trekking Through The Volcanoes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Trekking Through The Volcanoes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Trekking Through The Volcanoes?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Trekking Through The Volcanoes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
